Dear Jeremy,
I totally agree with Franco. This is scandalous. A complete disgrace. I agree that a letter petitioning against the decision, and which explains our shock and sadness at the way this has been handled and our colleagues treated should be sent from our community. I would also suggest that the national and international institutions (e.g. RSC, IoP etc) could also be informed.

Dear Jeremy,
I find the news about our canadian collegues really shocking and sad : I
agree with you that our community should do something to oppose the somewhat
arbitrary elimination of such high quality research on very unclear ground
and without convincing reasons for it .
I would suggest that a letter to some specific high-ranking bureaucrats and
politicians in canada should be prepared and signed by as many as possible
of the members of our community.
Thanks for letting us know,
Franco
